뜻 저버린 이스라엘을 교훈삼게하소서

아버지의 기도-믿음편

1959.2.22

선민의 권한을 자랑하고 택한 백성임을 자랑하며, 축복권 내에 살던 이스라엘은 어디 갔는가 하고 탄식하신 아버지의 슬픈 눈물이 이 땅에 남아 있다는 것을 저희들은 알고 있사옵니다.

아버님께서 4천 년 동안 역사적인 서글픔을 참으시면서도 택한 이스라엘 민족을 붙들고 나오신 것은 메시아 한 분을 보내시기 위함이었는데도 불구하고 그들은 메시아를 두고 사탄의 품에 품기었으니, 그것을 바라보신 아버님의 서글픔은 그때만의 서글픔이 아니라 억천만 년 역사의 서글픔으로 남아졌다는 사실을 알게 되옵니다.

당시에 택한 이스라엘 민족은 이러한 사실을 알지 못하였다는 것을 저희들이 회상하게 될 때, 오늘 몸을 굽히고 마음을 가다듬어 역사적인 범죄성을 폭로시키고, 그 역사적인 죄악을 대신하여 회개해야 할 책임이 저희들에게 있음을 저희들은 슬퍼하지 않을 수 없사옵니다.

예수께서는 하늘의 서글픈 심정을 갖고 쓰러져 가는 민족을 찾아 주셨사옵고, 그들을 불쌍히 여겨 자신의 생명도 아까지 않고 그들을 찾아 주셨사오나, 택한 민족이라 자칭하던 이스라엘 민족은 하늘이 보내신 메시아와 준비하신 세례요한을 자기들 멋대로 대접하여 역사적인 슬픔의 그늘에 숨겨 버렸다는 사실을 오늘 저희들은 알고 있사옵니다.

새 시대에 대한 소망이 부족하였고, 새로운 메시아의 이념을 갖고 오실 주님의 모습이 클 것으로 알고 있었는데 정작 나타난 메시아가 너무도 초초하고 불쌍하고 형편없이 작은 모습이었기에 그들이 배척하였다는 사실을 알게 허락하여 주시옵소서.

이제 저희 한 자체가 어떠한 자리에 처해 있는가 살피게 허락하여 주시옵고, 오늘 저희들은 흔히 역사적인 이스라엘 민족을 비방하고, 당신의 사정을 비판하기 좋아하나 그때의 사정이나 오늘의 사정이 차이가 없음을 알게 하여 주시옵소서.

저희들이 그때에 있었으면 그들과 같은 무리였을 것이며, 저희들이 그 시대에 있었으면 그들과 같은 입장에 있었을 것임을 자인하는 마음을 갖게 해주시고, 그러한 역사적인 죄의 흔적을 지나고 있는 자신들이라는 것과 사탄의 마수가 저희의 몸을 노리고 있다는 것을 알게 허락하여 주시옵길 간절히 바라올 때, 모든 말씀 주의 이름으로 아뢰었사옵나이다. 아멘.

み意に背いたイスラエルを教訓とさせてください

父の祈り　信仰編　（1959/2/22）

　選民の権限を誇り、選ばれた民であることを誇りながら、祝福圏内に生きたイスラエルはどこに行ったのかと嘆息なさるお父様の悲しい涙が、この地に残っているということを私たちは知っています。お父様が４０００年の間、歴史的な悲しさに耐えながら、選んだイスラエル民族をつかんでこられたのは、メシヤお一人をお送りになるためであったにもかかわらず、彼らはメシヤをほうっておき、サタンの懐に抱かれたがゆえに、それを見つめておられたお父様の悲しさは、その時だけの悲しさではなく、億千万年歴史の悲しさとして残されたという事実を知るものです。

　当時、選ばれたイスラエル民族はこのような事実を知ることができなかったということを私たちが回想するとき、きょう体をかがめ、心を整理して歴史的な犯罪性を暴露し、その歴史的な罪悪を身代わりして悔い改めるべき責任が私たちにあることを、私たちは悲しく思わないわけにはいきません。

　イエス様は天の物悲しい心情を抱き、倒れていく民族を訪ねてくださり、彼らをかわいそうに思い、自らの生命をも惜しまず、彼らを訪ねてくださいましたが、選ばれた民族であると自称していたイスラエル民族は、天がお送りになったメシヤと準備された洗礼ヨハネを、自分たちの勝手に扱い、歴史的な悲しみの陰に隠してしまったという事実を、今日、私たちは知っています。

きょう、ここに集ったあなたの息子・娘たちをして、その時のイスラエルの人々が私たちよりも劣っていて天に背反したのでなく、天のために生きる心情が私たちよりも劣っていて天を忘れてしまったのではなかったことを知るよう許諾してください。

新しい時代に対する希望が足らず、新しいメシヤの理念を持ってこられる主の姿が大きいだろうと思っていたのに、いざ現れたメシヤが、あまりにも悄然(しょうぜん)としてかわいそうで、小さな姿であったがゆえに、彼らが排斥したのだという事実が分かるよう許諾してください。

　今、私たち死体がどのような立場に置かれているかを察するよう許諾してくださり、今日、私たちはよく歴史的なイスラエル民族を誹謗(ひぼう)し、当時の事情を批判することがありますが、その時の事情や今日の事情に差がないことを知るようにしてください。

　私たちがその時にいたなら、彼らと同じ群れであったことでしょうし、私たちがその時代にいたなら、彼らと同じ立場にいたであろうことを自認する心を持つようにしてくださり、そのような歴史的な罪の痕跡(こんせき)をもっている自らだということと、サタンの魔の手が私たちの体をにらんでいるということを知るよう許諾してくださますことを懇切にお願い申し上げ、すべてを主のみ名によってお祈り申し上げました。 アーメン。　

Please Let Us Learn A Lesson From Israel Which Turned Its Back On The Will

PRAYERS: A Lifetime Of Conversation With Our Heavenly Father

February 22, 1959

We know that your sorrowful tears remain on this earth where you lament wondering where Israel has gone which used to live within your realm of blessing, and boasted of being the chosen people and boasted of its authority as a chosen people.

In spite of the fact that while enduring historical loneliness, you went forward holding on to the chosen people of Israel throughout 4,000 years of history in order to send the one Messiah, they left the Messiah behind and were embraced in the bosom of Satan. We have come to know the truth that because of that, the sorrow you felt as you watched was not a loneliness of that time alone, but it has remained as a historical loneliness for billions of years.

When we reflect on the fact that at that time the chosen people of Israel did not know this kind of fact, today we cannot help but be sorrowful that it is our responsibility to have to reveal the nature of the historical sin as we bow down our bodies and compose our minds, and repent in their stead for that historical sin.

Today we know the fact, which has been hidden in the shadows of historical sorrow, that Jesus came with the lonely heart of heaven to the people who were collapsing and overthrown and dying, and taking compassion upon them he came to them without holding back even his own life. But the people of Israel, who called themselves the chosen people, did as they pleased to the messiah who was sent by heaven and to John the Baptist who was prepared by heaven.

Please allow your sons and daughters who are gathered here today to know that it was not because the people of Israel at that time were less than us, that they betrayed heaven, and it was not because their desire to live for the sake heaven was not as great as ours, that they forgot heaven.

Please allow us to realize that they were lacking in hope about the new age, and they had a concept about the new messiah, and they thought that the new Lord to come would be very great, but because the messiah who appeared in reality was too haggard, and pitiful and unimpressively small, they rejected him.

Please allow us to consider what kind of position we are in now, and today we commonly speak ill of the historical people of Israel, and like to criticize the situation at that time, but please let us know that there is no difference between the situation today and the situation at that time.

Please allow us to have minds that admit that if we had been alive at that time, we would have been the same as them, and if we had been alive at that time, we would have been in the same position as they were. We earnestly hope and desire that you will allow us to realize that we are people who have within us the traces of that kind of historical sin, and that Satan's evil influence is stalking our bodies.

We have humbly prayed all these things in the name of the Lord. Amen.

我們的希望---理想地上天國

韓國首爾，前本部教會
1959年2月22日

禱告

        我們知道您的淚水仍然留在這片土地上。您對選民的力量與您揀選的國民感到驕傲。您過去在憂愁：「生活在祝福圈裡的以色列人到那去了？」

        在悲傷的四千年歷史期間，您緊緊地抓住以色列人，因為您想要差遣一位彌賽亞到他們中間。然而，他們非但沒有被擁抱在彌賽亞的胸懷裡，他們卻被擁抱在撒但的胸懷裡。當您看到這一目所感受到的悲傷，不是只有在那一刻而已。那種悲傷好像是一百萬年之久。當我們看到以色列人並不知道這事實時，我們深深地感到悲傷，我們有責任帶著謙虛與誠懇的心情來揭示這項歷史性的罪惡，並且代替這些犯下歷史性罪惡的人來懺悔。

        父神啊，請賜給我們您的大能雙手。父神啊，請您向我們彰顯愛的心情。父神啊，請您移動您疲憊的雙腳來尋找我們。

        耶穌帶著天的悲傷的心情在尋找那些要毀滅的人。祂尋找他們，憐憫他們，願意賜給他們生命。稱自己為「選民」的以色列人，則帶著一顆莫不關心的心情來對待天所差遣的彌賽亞與為彌賽亞舖路的施洗約翰。他們把那二個人藏在歷史的悲傷裡。今天我們知道了這個事實。

        請讓聚集在這裡的兒子與女兒瞭解以色列人並不是比我們還沒有價值而背叛了天。他們並不是因為他們比我們還缺少為天而活的心情而忘記了天。相反的，他們是缺乏對新時代的希望。他們期待基督會以盛大的場面出現，他是帶著彌賽亞的新理想出現。但事實上當彌賽亞像乞丐一樣地卑微又渺小地出現時，他們背叛了他。

        請您讓我們來反省我們每一個人的位置。今天，我們很容易來批判歷史上的以色列與當時的歷史性時刻。但是，讓我們瞭解他們當年的情況與我們今天的情況是沒有差別的。

        讓我們承認，如果我們也是生活在當年，我們跟他們也差不多，並且也會有相同的行為。讓我們瞭解在我們身上仍然留下了歷史性的罪惡，撒但的邪惡之手仍然指著我們。

我們是奉我主基督的名祈求這一切。阿門。
